Some silver coins are traded as bullion, such as the American silver eagle
(.999) and the Canadian maple leaf(.9999). These weren't meant as circulation
coinage. They are pure metal.
Others are meant for general circulation and are alloyed for longer wear.
Your local coin shop can tell which are pure silver. It's a convenient way to
get pure silver. You'll pay bullion price plus a little bit.
If you don't like the shape, you can beat it flat and cut it into strips!
Good way to get gold too!
